To all whom it may comm: 1

. Be it known that 1, Burn FAURE, citizen of the French Republic, residing at 5 Rue des Goncourt, Paris, France, have invented a certain new and useful device-Rotary Pump with Gyroscopic Field-of which the following is a specification.

in my U. 8. Patent 1,402,853 of January 10th, 1922, I described devices" emitting the utilization of non-centrifugal forces of inertia which are produced in a fluid contained in a system of. channels entrained in a movement of rotation which is; non

uniform or composite, which movementmhas the sheet of producing what I termed a. gyroscopic field.

I set forth in the said patent a type of rotary pump with composite rotation, essentially constituted by a rotor with a fluid channel system turning upon an axis of rotation, which latter rotates upon an axis of suspension, said rotor bein%l provided with a system of distribution w 'ch causes the spiral proper time with the suction and with the exhaust.

The present invention has forits, object an improved form of construction of the,

said type of pump.' The, improvements set forth below relate to the construction, operation and regulation of a pump with gyrosco ic field as described in the main patent. he said improvements-comprise t e following features:

1. A rotary casing surrounding the rotor and serving to support'the shaft of said rotor, said casing being secured to the distributing cock and containing the suction and discharge conduits. One of said conduits ma open into the interior of the casing. he suction and the discharge may be situated on the same side of the casing or on opposite sides of the latter. The gearing may be disposed within or without the said casing.

2. An arrangement for the evacuation .of leakage liquid in the case in which, the gearin being disposed outside the casing], it is fesired to prevent the liquid whic may infiltrate through the jointbetween the shaft and the casing, from traversing which is situated adacent the m mixing with the substance lubricating the gears. a

3. The use of two cocks for the distribution of the liquid in the rotor, should it of rotation.

turns to communicate at the be desired to simultaneously regulate the pressure and the output without modifyin any of the elements or varying the s es With a sin le cock, in not, the simultaneous regulation of these two factors could only be obtained as a eneral rule with an increase of the interns losses of energy.

By way of example, hereunder and re axial section in t e appended drawings, a form of construction of a pump comprising the said improvements.

h'ig. 1 is an elevational View in axial section,

ure.

igs. 2 and 3 are sections of the lower cock according to the planes A B and C The rotor 1 comprising the circular conduits 2 and 3 which are disposed in a regular manner about the axis of symmetry, is situated within a rotary casing made in two pieces 4 and 5. The shaft 6 secured to the rotor 1 traverses the said casing i have some has mounted thereon the bevel gear 7 which is outside the casing.

The rotary inlet conduit 8 communicates directly wit the interior of the casing.

The rotary discharge conduit 9 is disposed on the same side of the casing as the inlet. I

The arrows indicate thepath followed by the liquid; 10 and 11 are the two feed cocks which are secured to the casing 4,

resented in longitudinal lid both-axes being in the plane of the 5. The cock 10 which has'a flat friction surface placed in contact with the rotor 'l at 10-, gives passage to the water drawn into the casing through the orifice 12 (Fig. 2) and discharges it into the conduit 2; said cock further collects the liquid under pressure comingfrom the conduit 3 throu h the orifice 13 and discharges it into e outlet conduit 9 through the intermediary of an annular passage 14', (Fig. 3). The cook 11 has a cylindrical surface having. a friction contact with the rotor-'1 at 11' it collects (through the orifice 15) theliquid supplied by the conduits which occupy the position of'the conduit 2 and discharges the liquid through the orifice 16 into the conduits occupying the position of the conduit 3.

The pressure which is produced will depend u on-the position of the-orifices of the coc s with reference to the plane determined by the axis of rotation 6 of the rotor 1 and the axis of suspension of the casing 5. The pressure may vary from zero to a maximum according to this position.

The output will de end upon the position of the cooks wit reference to each other; for if the orifices of these two elements should not exactly correspond, each conduit will at a given moment be opened at one end but not at the other, so that the circulation of fluid cannot take place at such times. By varying the fraction of these elements which is in coincidence, I can vary the time during which the liquid will circulate in the conduits, and consequently the out ut itself.-

o eliminate the leakage which might occur through the stulling-box 17 a chamber is provided on the casing outside the stufling-box, and it is separated from the inside of the casing; said chamber communicates with a conduit 1920. Further, in the main frame 21 surrounding the rotary casing, a partition 22 forms a trough By the effect of centrifugal force, the leakage fluid passes through the conduit 19-20 and descends into the trough 23 of the main frame, whence it is eliminated through the aperture 24. The other part of the casing 21 contains lubricatin oil.

A trough 25 forme by the part 4 of the rotary casing collects the oil and feeds it through the pipe 26 to the bearing 27 of the casing. The oil proceeds thence through the conduit 28 and the pipes 28 to the ballbearing 29 secured to the casing 4. The end of the rotor shaft 6, provided with the pinion 7, is revoluble in the casing 4. The oil proceeds thence through the pipe 28 to the bearing formed by the cock 10, wherein the other end of the said rotor shaft is revoluble.

What I claim is:

1. A rotary pump with gyroscopic field comprising a machine frame, a suspension shaft revoluble therein, a casing keyed to said suspension shaft, a rotating shaft 'revoluble in the said casing, conduits seto the said machine frame, and a pinion keyed to the said rotating shaft and engaged with the first mentioned pinion.

2. A rotary pump with gyroscopic field comprising a machine frame, a suspension shaft revoluble therein, a casing keyed to said suspension shaft, a rotating shaft revolu'ble in the said casing, conduits secured to the said rotating shaft and forming a rotor, the said suspension shaft having formed therein a suction conduit and a discharge conduit, an adjustable cock secured to said casing and adapted to connect the inlet and outlet of said suspension shaft respectively with the ends of the two rotor conduits having therein the suction pressure and the discharge pressure, a second adjustable cock secured to the said casing and affording communication between the two opposite ends of the said rotor conduits, a pinion keyed lo the said machine frame, and a pinion keyed to the said rotating shaft and engaged with the first-mentioned pinion.

3. A rotary pump with gyroscopic field comprising a machine frame, a suspension shaft revoluble therein, a casing keyed to said suspension shaft, a rotating shaft revoluble in the said casing, conduits secured to the said rotating shaft and forming a rotor, the said suspension shaft having formed therein a suction conduit and a discharge conduit, an adjustable cock secured to said casing and adapted to connect the inlet and outlet of said suspension shaft respectively with the ends of the two rotor conduits having therein the suction pressure and the discharge pressure, a second adjustable cock secured to the said casing and affording communication between the two opposite ends of the said rotor conduits, a chamber formed in the said casing and surrounding the rotor shaft adjacent the bearing of said shaft, a chamber formed in the machine frame and separated from the chamber of said casing which contains lubricating oil, a conduit. connecting the said chamber of the casing with the chamber of the machine frame, a pinion keyed to the said machine frame, and a pinion keyed to the said rotating shaft and engaged with the first-mentioned pinion.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand.
